Then, this looks like that the man page may need to be polished.
In a sentence, quotation marks can be either used as quoting things or
emphasizing a thing.

For example, in your last sentence, it used "naked" for $@. The naked $@ in the
sh script does not really need double quotation marks, which are used for
emphasizing the word "naked" in this sentence.

So, when reading "$@" in the man page, it is not always clear if the
double-quotes is real needed or is for emphasize the key word $@.

In many documents, the quotation mark usage is explicitly explained to help
readers easy to get what quotation marks are used in sentences -- emphasizing
or required.
